Using Regenerative Medicine Treatments for Back Pain
Spine pain, also known as back pain, is a common condition characterized by discomfort or pain felt in the spinal region. The spine, or vertebral column, is made up of bones called vertebrae, discs that act as cushions between the vertebrae, and various ligaments and muscles that support the spine.

- Effective Treatments: Using your stem cells or MSCs for pain relief, regeneration, and more.
Regenerative Treatments
How does it work?
Stem cells are special cells that have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, such as muscle, bone, and cartilage cells. By harvesting these cells from the patient’s own bone marrow, they can be injected into the damaged area to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
During the painless procedure, a small amount of bone marrow is typically taken from the patient’s hip bone using a needle. The bone marrow is then processed to isolate the stem cells, which are then injected into the affected area using imaging guidance to ensure accurate placement.
While it may not provide immediate pain relief, it provides long-term benefits and improves overall function and quality of life. If you are considering this treatment option, it is important to book your FREE consultation with us to determine if it is right for you.
Spine pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Muscle strain or sprain: Overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements can cause the muscles or ligaments in the back to become strained or sprained, leading to pain.
- Disc problems: Herniated discs, bulging discs, or degenerative disc disease can cause pain in the back, as well as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs.
- Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots and causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back or legs.
- Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis can affect the joints in the spine, causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
- Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves to the side, causing pain or discomfort in the back.
- Injury or trauma: Trauma, such as a fall or car accident, can cause damage to the spinal cord or vertebrae, leading to pain or paralysis.
Treatment for spine pain depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Treatment options may include regenerative medicine treatments, physical therapy, medications, injections, or surgery.
Using regenerative medicine treatments to treat back pain
Regenerative medicine treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell therapy may be effective in treating back pain by promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
PRP therapy involves taking a small sample of the patient’s own blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and other healing agents. The PRP is then injected into the affected area, such as the injured or damaged disc in the spine, to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
Stem cell therapy involves injecting stem cells, either from the patient’s own body or from a donor, into the damaged area to promote tissue repair and regeneration. The stem cells can differentiate into different types of cells, such as bone, cartilage, or muscle cells, depending on the needs of the damaged tissue.
Types of Stem Cells :
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs)
Found in early-stage embryos. Super powerful, can become any cell in the body. They are not typically used in modern clinical settings in the U.S. We don’t offer treatments using ESCs.
Adult Stem Cells (ASCs)
Found in tissues like bone marrow and fat. Their job is to maintain and repair the tissue they come from. These are what we mostly use in regenerative medicine. We do offer treatments using ASCs.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
This is the type A subtype of adult stem cells found in bone marrow, fat, and umbilical cords. They're amazing at reducing inflammation, modulating the immune system, and helping damaged tissue heal. We do offer treatments using MSCs.
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)
Regular adult cells that scientists “reprogram” to act like embryonic stem cells. Big in research, not widely used yet in clinical care. We do not work with iPSCs.

What are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are your body’s raw materials basically, the building blocks for all other cells. They’re special because they can:
1. Divide and make more copies of themselves (self-renew).
2. Turn into specialized cells like muscle, bone, nerve, skin, or blood cells (differentiate).
Think of them like the body’s repair system. If you get injured or sick, stem cells can go to the area and help regenerate damaged tissue.
